Hi everyone. I screwed up, and I need to make a public apology.
After I left work today, someone was kind enough to leave a note for me on my scooter notifying me of my gross incompetence. Here is a photograph of the note:
It reads "Please find a scooter-sized Spot. A car could fit.". It seems as though I carelessly parked my scooter such that a car could not fit in that spot. I was under the impression that the taxes I pay to license my vehicle entitled me to the same benefits a car would have. But I was dead wrong. And I am glad that this kind hearted soul left a note to inform me. As a scooter owner, it is important for me (and all other scooter owners) to realize that street parking is at a premium, and that cars have much higher priority for parking than scooters.
I can't believe that I would make such a mistake. In addition to being a scooter owner, I am also a car owner! I will make sure that next time I commute to work, I will make sure to take my car - so that I don't waste precious street space!
Here is a photograph of my scooter that the note was left on:
I feel so terrible about the mistake I made that I would love to apologize to the person I inconvenienced in person! Please contact me, or leave a comment, and we can meet up! Make sure to bring measurements of your car so that I will make absolutely sure that there is enough room for you to park.
Next time I drive my scooter I will make sure to constantly check on it so that if any car parking next to it gets up nice and close, so that the general area of my scooter doesn't look so tempting to another car driver!

You should truly feel ashamed.
Ha ha haaaaaa! Very similar to when people park all close to my car like its my fault the person on the other side couldn’t park inbetween lines and then the douch-bag on the other side thinks they’ll get me for parking poorly. Little do they know that my Bronco has an awesome turning radius and I can get in and out of ANY SPACE!!! My car and I are just that cool. Aaron, what the hell am I talking about? Help me. I am lonely.
Is that some sort of Roomba holder on the side of your Scooter? Ready to clean at a moments notice?
Very nice Scooter by the way. I have a big, fast motorcycle I get to be an ass on, but I’ve always wanted a scooter. While I’m no expert on scooters, yours is unlike any I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of a Laverda motorcycle. All orange and funky (in a good way).
Looking closer at the high-res version of the scooter snapshot… That thing on the side isn’t a spare tyre is it? I know… it sounds ridiculous; never seen a street-bike with a spare, but the shape…
Thanks Sam! Actually it is a spare tire. The engine is one one side, and the spare and battery are on the other.
